SWT Designer v7.6: The industry-leading Java GUI designer for SWT now offers:

• Eclipse 3.6 Support – Staying in step with the annual Eclipse release train, Instantiations provides full support for Eclipse 3.6 (Helios).

  • Support for all standard SWT layout managers like GridLayout and FormLayout
  • Support for SWT event handling
